Hi all

There are a number of 'firsts' here:

• Posting to Ready for Inspection
• Model in more than 20 years
• 1:32 scale model
• Attempt at airbrushing
• Attempt at weathering

This is a straight OOB build; it was difficult enough without adding more firsts.  The kit wasn't difficult but I need to think about the order that I do the construction and painting.

I have learnt a lot from this project that I will be able to use in my future builds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Yes, quite over the top, but they usually are for the tiger meets.

Thanks.  Yes, the tiger stripes are lots of little decals to match together.  I was into fixing them before I realised that they should be placed in a specific order.  That caused a few problems keeping some loose on the model while I fixed those that would determine where the stripes should lie.
